Cloth Seal, George I, Alnage, Lion Rampant

Cloth Seal, George I, Alnage, 1714 onward, Image & Found by Donnydave.
Found in Yorkshire.

A complete four disc alnage seal with disc 2 displaying the bust of George I with FIDEI D[E]FEN curved around. Disc 3 shows a lion rampant with 2 ½ to sides. Both have a circular border of short rays.

See Geoff Egan, 'Lead cloth seals and related items in the B.M. (B.M.occ.papers 93)' No specific match but portrait matches George I, see Figs.27 & 28 Nos.154, 161 & 168. Those shown in Egan all seem to be for a 1 ½ d. alnage levy.
